Meet the Meat

Some scientists are working on artificially grown meat, which would be “test-tube meat” rather than from dead animals. It’s an interesting concept, and one with many ramifications. They claim it would have lower fat content. Plus it would eliminate the need for 40 billion smelly animals that are kept in poor farming conditions, and solve that tiny problem of world hunger.

What about vegetarians, eh? If you’re a vegetarian, why? Obviously if you don’t eat meat for a physiological reason or such, you would not eat this meat. But if it is just because you think that eating meat is wrong (since we’re killing animals), would you eat this artificial meat (no animals were harmed during the making of this product).

Oh, and the universe runs on toast. Thank you.

This sounds pretty cool.
It wouldn’t be verry good for farmers, but its probally going to take a long time before this is finished. And like you said, it would fix problems like world hunger, which would be a huge step forward for third world coutries.

Indeed. I imagine the agriculture industry would change drastically. While I haven’t heard any talk of artificial vegetables and other crops being manufactured, I don’t see why not—carbohydrates are just long, long polymers after all.

OMG! NO! No artificial meat! What the hell is wrong with people ?! World hunger? If people actually wanted to end it - they would end it, without artificial products. All the food in fast foods, would be enough to feed the human population, to bad that food is largely consumed by USA, so people in the US weigh as the human population (the rest of course).
